  2. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈ s aɪ d ər, ˈ s ɪ-/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing.The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced CIDR in 1993 to replace the previous classful network addressing architecture on the Internet.

  3. Wildcard mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_mask

    A wildcard mask can be thought of as an inverted subnet mask. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 2) inverts to a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.255 (00000000.00000000.00000000.11111111 2). A wild card mask is a matching rule. [2] The rule for a wildcard mask is: 0 means that the equivalent bit must match

  4. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    Creating a subnet by dividing the host identifier. A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logical subdivision of an IP network. [1]: 1, 16 The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. Computers that belong to the same subnet are addressed with an identical group of its most-significant bits of their IP addresses.

  5. Dot-decimal notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-decimal_notation

    IP addresses in dot-decimal notation are also presented in CIDR notation, in which the IP address is suffixed with a slash and a number, used to specify the length of the associated routing prefix. For example, 127.0.0.1/8 specifies that the IP address has an eight-bit routing prefix, and therefore the subnet mask 255.0.0.0.

  6. Internet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet

    For IPv4, a network may also be characterized by its subnet mask or netmask, which is the bitmask that when applied by a bitwise AND operation to any IP address in the network, yields the routing prefix. Subnet masks are also expressed in dot-decimal notation like an address. For example, 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask for the prefix 198.51 ...

  7. Private network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

    In Internet networking, a private network is a computer network that uses a private address space of IP addresses.These addresses are commonly used for local area networks (LANs) in residential, office, and enterprise environments.

  8. IPv4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4

    It is used as a local broadcast address for sending messages to all devices on the subnet simultaneously. For networks of size / 24 or larger, the broadcast address always ends in 255. For example, in the subnet 192.168.5.0 / 24 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) the identifier 192.168.5.0 is used to refer to the entire subnet

  9. Anycast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast

    Anycast is a network addressing and routing methodology in which a single IP address is shared by devices (generally servers) in multiple locations. Routers direct packets addressed to this destination to the location nearest the sender, using their normal decision-making algorithms, typically the lowest number of BGP network hops.
